Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • juice of 1-2 lemons, add it to taste.
  • 1 1/2 cups finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley (reserve some for garnish)
  • salt and fresh cracked black pepper

Instruction

  • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until just al dente. Be sure to salt your water well!
  • Meanwhile melt the butter in a pan over low heat and add the cream. Stir to combine and let it just come to a simmer. Add the lemon juice and stir.
  • Add the cheese and stir until it is completely melted. I like to take the pan off the heat to do this. Taste the sauce and add salt, if needed, and plenty of fresh cracked black pepper.
  • When the pasta is done, drain it and add it to the sauce, along with the parsley. Toss everything well, and serve up immediately, with more parsley for garnish.
